Chapter 427: Chapter 187: Forcing Chen Yi to Bow (Please Subscribe)_4 Chapter 427: Chapter 187: Forcing Chen Yi to Bow (Please Subscribe)_4 At that mont, Jiang Ye’s ears perked up, and he asked suspiciously, “An, is Chen Yi really such a big deal? Even Prince Zhenbei has to personally receive him?”
“It’s just a rumor, take it with a grain of salt,” Xie Dongan casually remarked.
“I also think the rumors are not true, but now, inside the Kyoto Prefecture, in every tavern, inn, and among the common people in the markets, that’s what they’re saying.”
Jiang Ye found it strange, as he rembered Chen Yi as not being such an ostentatious person.
Besides, Prince Zhenbei, Du Qing, is not the kind of royal who humbly pays respect to scholars and foreign princes.
“Sobody wants to test Chen Yi’s ttle,” Xie Dongan said with a light chuckle.
“Just probing, it won’t harm him.”
“Who would be so tasteless?” Jiang Ye said speechlessly. “Using such despicable thods on soone like Brother Yi, a Heavenly Pride?”
“Despicable? I don’t think so.”
Xie Dongan slightly shook his head, “After all, Chen Yi has been away from the Kyoto Prefecture for many years, and he has returned as a ‘peerless Heavenly Pride,’ his prestige too overwhelming.”
“That’s why so people want to see if he will abide by the rules of the Kyoto Prefecture, to see if he acts like other martial hero-born youths.”
Jiang Ye thought to himself that such a trivial matter was actually so intricate, utterly dull.
“An, how do you think Chen Yi will respond?”
“I don’t know.”
“Not even you?”
Xie Dongan said, “I’m not a worm in Chen Yi’s stomach, how would I know his thoughts?”
Jiang Ye chuckled, “But you are the youngest University Scholar of the Kyoto Academy, there’s not much in the world that you don’t know.”
…
Xie Dongan stared at him irritably, but also started to ponder while swirling his cup.
After a while.
Xie Dongan still shook his head, “I can’t figure it out, can’t see through him.”
“First, Chen Yi’s cultivation has now far surpassed ours, many things we think can’t be done, he can do.”
“Second, Chen Yi has no intention of succeeding as Duke Wuan, so his attitude towards those nobilities of the Kyoto Prefecture is worth pondering.”
“Third…”
Given Chen Yi’s mastery of the Slaughter Sword Dao, if soone really provokes him, the outco could be quite grim.
And tricks like “using rumors to force Chen Yi to bow down” could be big or small for him.
If serious, Chen Yi might turn the Kyoto Prefecture upside down.
If trivial, he should just laugh it off.
“Well, another day of admiring Brother Yi,” Jiang Ye said, propping up his legs.
After a few drinks,
Jiang Ye suddenly leaned in closer and whispered, “An, have you heard about the Holy Emperor arranging a marriage for Chen Yuan?”
“You an the Fourteenth Princess?” Xie Dongan nodded indifferently:
“I’ve heard Grandfather ntion it a couple of tis.”
“I heard that initially, the Holy Emperor wanted to marry Wei Xiaoyun to Chen Yuan, but sohow, it ended up being Princess Jin Yu.”
Jiang Ye scratched his head and said, “An, do you think it was the Princess’s suggestion?”
“Possibly.”
“But why? She has barely interacted with Chen Yuan…”
Xie Dongan toyed with the glass in his hand, a aningful smile appearing on his face:
“Maybe she is not convinced, wanting to prove sothing.”
“Ah,” Jiang Ye reacted, suddenly widening his eyes, “Are you talking about that ti in the secret realm?”
Xie Dongan nodded, “That’s the only reason I can think of.”
“But, she…” Jiang Ye rubbed his forehead and sighed, “If that’s the case, then she is truly being unreasonable.”
Just because of a past argunt with An, Jin Yu asked the Holy Emperor to marry her to Chen Yuan…
Thinking about it, it indeed sounds like sothing that capricious Princess might do…
“Never mind her.”
Xie Dongan looked at the pedestrians below, pondering for a while, but his brows furrowed:
“Strange, why are there so many monks attending this grand event?”
